Two Peculiar Women,

There is much interest felt here about the
Emmons case, and all the sympathy is decidedly
on Mr.. Emmonss side, who has borne with great
patience the eccentric proceedings of his wife,
and has always been most kind and considerable
toward the unfortunate woman, about whom
surely the hardest thing which can be said is
that she is not mentally responsible for the per-
formances which used to fairly paralyze Wash
iugton, accustomed as it is TO sensations of all
sorts. BY the way. apropos Of young and fas-
cinating grass widow who spent last winter here
it is stated that when a new tenant moved into
the house which she had occupied, who happened
to be maiden lady of most austere and decor
Gus behavior, she was electrified one day by the
apparation of six men who had come to return

conscious that they were not alone in their glory.

strike OF 5000 eoal-handlers The strikers are
scattered all along the coast from Providence TO
this city. They have been confident that they
would win, as they thought they had the coal
supply of New England entirely cut of. It now
seems that the New York & New England rail
road has been using cars of every description,
and rushing hundreds of thousands of tons of
coal into New England daily. This has been
kept secret, but on it's leaking out to-day it
seemed to depress the strikers 1t is stated that
a meeting between a committee of the strikers
and representatives of the coal-producing COM
paniss has been arranged for tomorrow. The
first advances are said to have been made by the

had then believed that there was no vacancy,
they would have put up no candidate, because
on that theory the place would have
been retained by partisan Of their own,
of the Senate. Or if they had believed
that there was vacancy, but had desired
Smith to fill it. they would have nominated him
against Robertson. Thus the will OF the people
of both parties was expressed at the recent cleo
ton, and in now trying to seize the Office of
Lieutenant governor for Smith, on the pretense
that there was no vacancy and that no Lieuten-
ant-goverror was legally elected. the Democrats
are endeavoring to defy and defeat the will of
the people of the State
Intelligent voters of both parties are perfectly
conscious that, if the people had elected Demo-
cratic Legislature by decisive majority, the
pretense would never have been heard of that
no Lleutenant-governor had been legally elected.
No man Of either party would then have ques-
toned the validity of the election Neither
would its validity have been questioned by any
body If the LEGISLATURE had been decisively Re-
publican. Neither would it have been ques-
toned if the Democratic candidate for Lieu
tenapt-governor had been chosen In any
of these the election of Lieu
tenant-governor would have stood
the unquestioned will of the people of Indiana.
Either it was that, or it was not 1t was not the
less SO because the Legislature happened to be
close ana doubtful WHAT would have been
recognized by all decent citizens legal cleo
ton, and a valid expression of the will of the
people, in either of the cAses supposed, is pre-
cisely to the same extent a valid election and
conclusive expression of the will of the people
now that the Office of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS hap
peus to be of partisan Importance. It is the
duty of every law abiding citizen of Indiana to
act, in this emergency, just as he would have
acted it there had arisen noypartsan reason for
disputing the election of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Robertson. to accept the election legal and
valid, exactly as it would then have been accept
ed, and to spurn as revolutionary lawbreakers
the men who try to defeat an election by the peo-
ple in order to use the Office of Leutenant-gov-
ernor for few weeks to serve partisan ends.
Surely all this must be entirely clear to re-
spectacle citizens of Indiana. They must be
aware that, in dsputing at this late day the
right of the Lieutenant governor-elec to his seat
as nresdng officer of the Senate, they guilty
of breaking just much as the meanest
thief or the most audacious highwayman They
ought to see that nothing else could do so much
TO break down the authority of law, to destroy
its restraining power over the vicious and the
dangerous classes, and to loosen the foundations
of civilized society.

about this event but for the fact that some

and all preparations made, but the bride was
missing, having gone to Kansas without inform
ing Blodgett that the marriage was indefinitely
postponed. On her return David renewed his
suit, pressed it with such vigor and gave such
evidence of good nature about the former event
that he captured the prize he wanted
